How many years can a junkie stay on metadone and how can he get it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: A junkie may stay on Methadone for ever but should be tapered over a several month period of time to get clean. You need a doctor with a special dea license to prescribe Methadone for this use. You need to see public health office and they can direct you to a clinic.
